WHAT DO EXPLORERS DO?

The Fairfield Police Cadet Program (formerly known as Police Explorers) has been a part of the Fairfield Police Department since 1970s. The goal of the Cadet Program is to educate youth from ages 14-21 about the different aspects of Law Enforcement while also providing leadership opportunities and hands on experience. The Cadet Program is not just for those who want to become police officers, as many of our alumni have gone on to become nurses, attorneys, tradesman, and military officers. The key component of the Cadet Program is to teach self-sufficiency and decision making skills to its members.
